Advanced Ambisonic processing

The new SoundField by RØDE plugin offers a revolutionary new approach to ambisonic processing, coupled with an intuitive new user interface. This offers the most accurate ambisonic rendering available in the world, all with legendary RØDE accessibility and ease-of-use.

A new approach

The SoundField by RØDE plugin operates in a completely different way to traditional ambisonic processors. Eschewing the matrices and correction filters of previous generations, it utilises state-of-the-art frequency-domain processing to deliver unparalleled spatial accuracy at all frequencies.

Perfectly matched to the SoundField by RØDE NT-SF1

The new SoundField by RØDE plugin is perfectly matched to the new NT-ST1 ambisonic microphone. This extraordinary broadcast-grade true-condenser microphone captures A-Format™ sounds with unprecedented accuracy and quality, and the new SoundField by RØDE plugin has been designed to offer the most accurate spatialisation and sound reporoduction when used with this microphone.

Beyond cardioid

Having the ability to change the polar pattern of the virtual microphones in post-production is a well know feature of ambisonics – allowing the user to create everything from omni through cardioid to fig-8 patterns in post-production. The new SoundField by RØDE goes beyond this, for the first-time allowing shotgun-type patterns to be created, using recent developments in beamforming technology. This offers a new dimension in sound shaping and control.

Support for all common formats

The SoundField by RØDE plugin allows the user to quickly set up mixes for all the common surround-sound formats, from 5.1 through to 7.1.4 (with-height) formats. Custom formats and speaker arrays can be quickly catered for, giving unparalleled flexibility and control.

Intuitive user interface

Months of research, usability studies and user feedback has gone into the interface for the SoundField by RØDE plugin. It allows you to quickly get to work, without needing to spend time learning complicated controls. The unique sound level visualisation gives immediate feedback into levels and soundscape, whilst ‘advanced’ mode opens up all parameters and controls for the ultimate in sound shaping.
